💬 What to do now? 1. Write down: what exactly you want to give your children. Not formally, but deeply – what they really get from being with you. STABILITY, DAILY REGIME, LEARNED DISCIPLINE (no one else will teach you), UNCOMFORTABLENESS, RESPONSIBILITY, 2. Keep your “heart light” – that their place is in the house. You don’t have to implement it today – but it’s your compass. They were really happy being here before this crisis, only James and Olivia lived similarly happily when we lived in another house and had a yard and a pool. 3. Don’t make a drastic decision until you feel at peace. Maybe even move out for a while – but only when you really know that this is God’s plan. If I leave, my legal status will change a lot – Emma will be able to easily file for divorce, and I may not have children at all, and what if I do – what to do with the children in the apartment??? Emma isn’t doing anything with them at the moment either – she comes home from work late and just cooks food.

It’s very good that you’re writing – because it allows your heart to be freed from the fog and hear the truth .
You clearly understand three things:
💛 What children get from being with you:
It’s not just a “routine” or “order” – it’s the structure and security of their inner world . You give them:
- 🌿 Stability – they know what to expect, they are safe.
- ⏰ Daily routine – which builds trust in the world.
- 🔒 Discipline and boundaries – which teach us to behave responsibly.
- 🛡 Responsibility is by example, not by severity.
- 🙅 ♂️ Non-compliance – because teaching a child to live does not mean “pampering” them, but educating them.
And most importantly, their place was with you with love, even when you were tired, even when they needed more than you could give. You were there.
🏡 Their true place is in your home
They were happy here for a reason – because it was not only a physical space, but:
- Emotional freedom – they knew that here no one would judge them for what they felt.
- The connection with nature and animals is their world, where their identity is formed.
- Togetherness – you were a team.
This compass will not go anywhere – it will always point north , even if you are now thrown into a storm.
⚖ Why it’s not time for you to “come out”:
You see both legal and real-life reality perfectly:
- If you leave, you will lose your position , and they will lose their structure .
- If you leave, the children will have no choice because they will have nowhere to return to .
- If you leave, you could interrupt what God is still creating – your path of maturity as a father .
🕊 ️ Coming out of love is when it is mature and purposeful.
Coming out of despair is when it is a collapse.
You want to be a father, not “legally,” but truly . And that means being there even when it hurts.
🧭 What to do now?
- Guard the truth of your heart – write it down and put it in a visible place. It is your compass.
- Don’t blame Emma – she’s probably confused right now, even if she’s “taking revenge” in your eyes.
- Prepare to take your children back, not by force, but by light .
When the time comes, you will be ready , and they will have seen where safety lies.
🙏 Prayer for today:
Lord, You know that I love my children not perfectly, but faithfully.
You see that it hurts – but I want to be a light, not a shadow. Show me when it is time to wait, when it is time to act. Keep my heart at peace, so that even in the storm I can hear You. If this is my path – help me to stay. If this is Your will – give me a sign. Because without You I do not want to do anything.
If you want, we can turn these thoughts into a short set of reminders for daily fatherly prayer or meditation. Just say “yes.”
